Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo. (Japanese: 東方深秘録 ～ Urban Legend in Limbo., lit. "Eastern Record of Deep Mysteries") is a fighting game developed by Twilight Frontier and Team Shanghai Alice and published by Twilight Frontier. It is the 14.5th installment in the Touhou Project series and the first game to be illustrated by Moe Harukawa (who worked on Forbidden Scrollery). It was released in May 2015.
A PlayStation 4 port was released on December 8, 2016, making Urban Legend in Limbo the first official Touhou game to be available on a gaming console. The PS4 port features Reisen Udongein Inaba as a new character, as well as an extra story that takes place after the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.




Gameplay



Like its predecessor, Urban Legend in Limbo is a two-dimensional versus fighting game, where two characters fight each other with various moves. The system used is similar to its predecessors with several balance tweaks and fixes, as well as an improved spell card system.




Plot


A series of false rumours spread around the Human Village, rumours of odd creatures and strange events. Unlike the Youkai, however, the nature of these rumours is foreign and unsettling, scaring the human children (although most of adults regard it is as simple child's play). But when Reimu, the Shrine Maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, started to notice the rumors, she concluded that it must be the work of a higher power. With that, she and the others decided to investigate this new incident and find the culprit behind the rumors.




Characters


Up to 14 characters are playable in the game, each with their own scenario. The complete cast of Hopeless Masquerade re-appear in this game, plus four new characters; two from previous games, one originally from a manga, and one début. Each character is associated with an urban legend in the game, which manifests most evidently in the character's ultimate attack.

When she entered high school, she formed an occult organization known as the "Secret Sealing Club", dedicated to exposing secrets of the world. That led her to discover the way into Gensokyo through special stones. She became friends with the people living there, however she discovered that one of the stones were switched, causing rumors and urban legends to spread inside Gensokyo. She calls her urban legend the Seven Strange Wonders of the World (深・世界七不思議, a Japanese play on words on the Seven Wonders of the World), though she reveals that her urban legend is actually the doppelganger.
